Hot Buns Haul

I am not much of a hair girl. I’ve never quite learned or
taught myself how to do my hair which would explain why my hair is usually up
in a ponytail, in a sloppy bun, in a twist or when it’s shorter down. I saw a video by Emily Noel on YouTube where
she hauled the Hot Buns from Sally’s and seeing her talk about it immediately
made me want it. Granted, she didn’t do
a full review on the product, but that sent me into motion looking for reviews
online and other “how to” videos.

I found the consensus was typically split down the
middle.There were people that loved it,
people that hated it and people who could go either way with the product. I felt from just looking at the product that
it would be easy to use – far easier than a sock bun method or even the donut
method (which I did purchase from Amazon for like 50 cents).

I wanted to purchase online but every website I went to it
was overpriced – even Amazon! The
product is typically $10 but shipping and handling from the Hot Buns website
would make it almost $25, Amazon was $15+. Sally’s sells them but I wasn’t going to go on
a mission to Sally’s but surprisingly enough Walmart sells this in their “As
Seen on TV” section for $9.88.

My hair is stalk straight.I only get volume out of my hair by using volume adding shampoo and
conditioner.My hair also gets oily
rather quickly, so I do wash my hair daily. Because my hair isn’t very thick and has
absolutely no volume normally I decided Hot Buns may work for me.

I’ve tried it a few times and I find the snaps, as many have
mentioned, are truly a pain in the butt. When you’re looking straight at it, you can
clip it and unclip it but when the product is behind your head it can get
tricky.It’s definitely one of those
hair products I am going to have to play with to see if I truly like it or if
it’s even going to work for me. Fingers
crossed!
